Guest guest Posted October 11, 1999 Report Share Posted October 11, 1999 That is totally appalling! I'm amazed that an article like that would make it into the paper at all. Is there a chance this is taken out of context? I think the way to respond to this would be to call or email the editor of the paper. Weebles wobbling doesn't make me mad~ but this would!

I'm tired of hearing the debate about how its not. Also, tired of the disrespectful to others who want the same polite treatment, changes and all like people of color have. They might as well argue with someone of color about correct terms, situations that have changed for them. One is only kidding themselves about how its doesn't bother them in any way, wake up. I live in the " real world. " " I not just do the talk, but I do the walk. " Yes, I like to see changes and if I have be one to start the changes then so be it. I have made changes before to other situations. I would personally like to see the description for when one reads for dwarfism in the dictionary whether Webster, American Heritage, or whatever changed to a more suitable description. Also, the definition of the term midget be in there as an offensive term since it is no matter how you slice it. I have voiced my opinions before about the Gogelein situation which got awareness. I plan to be interviewed about my being a person with dwarfism very soon by a local newspaper. Helen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 Steve, I'm not sure which protocol this refers to, but I do have and use a ProComp. The price you mention sounds low if you are including any software to run on it. I got mine with BioGraph software for more than $4,000 "used", and that was a good price. The ProComp/Biograph is certainly probably the gold standard for most in the industry today, though I have found the software a bit buggy. The BrainMaster, as you suggest, cannot do some of the things you can do with Biograph (e.g. percent training or ratio training or really nice Alpha/Theta or squash) without some additional items (like BMScope). However, for the difference in price (you could buy 3 or 4 BMers for the price of one Procomp) the BMer is a very solid choice. With the 2.0 software, due out perhaps this fall, a number of the technical differences and limitations will be removed. It is nice to have some of the feedback options in ProComp.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 Beth, That is the exact reason why I chose Dr. D'Astous. He has casted more kids then any other Dr. Our Dr. in San Diego was willing to cast but had never done it before. Doing it RIGHT is SO important or else you will have a very unhappy child! Dr. D'Astous has spoken with Dr. Mehta and actually uses her technique, and we all know that she Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 2, 2004 Report Share Posted May 2, 2004 oops...I did it again. I was saying that Dr. Mehta has made casting infants and small children her life's work. She has successfully straightened approx. 150 babies and followed them for 10 years and they REMAINED straight. So..anyways my point is that every Dr. has to learn to cast correctly but I am with you, not on my child, that is why we travel to Utah from Southern California.

You can still have Hashi's. Antibodies can come and go. Also, although it is true that you need several days for blood levels to approach equilibrium after an increase in T4 dosage, you still should feel the effects fairly quickly. It should not take a long time to " kick in, " although you may need further increases to really feel well again. In fact, when the dosage is not yet optimal, there is an initial " overshoot " in the blood levels followed by an approach to the steady state level from ABOVE. The system behaves like a slightly underdamped or critically damped oscillator. This is why they increase dosage gradually. Too rapid an increase can actually cause you to go hyperT temporarily.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Doug, Providing care to you 24/7 is a completely unrealistic commitment for anyone to make, at any price. If you agree to this proposal, you will be setting up your friend for burnout, and setting yourself up for deteriorating care and/or abandonment. My advice is to investigate available funding for home health services -- call your state Medicaid program, or local independent living center, and start asking questions, and request to apply for services. Then, depending on the nature of the home health service program, your friend could be employed as an attendant, and be paid an hourly wage. Then he could pay you for rent, or if you need more care than the program will pay for (i.e., overnight care), then you could offer your friend free rent in exchange for that. But in any case, you should have more than one person working for you, and make sure that no one individual does more than about eight or 10 hours a day. Everyone should have a day off once a week. Etc. You asked for opinions! I've been doing this a long time, and I feel very strongly that personal care arrangements should be fair, equitable, mutually rewarding, and not exhausting or abusive for either party. Hershey <http://www.Hershey.com> www.Hershey.com _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Doug Sent: Monday, December 07, 2009 11:24 AM Subject: Opinions? I need you guys and gals input on a matter I have very little knowledge of. I'm suddenly forced to go out on my own after years of living with my parents (I know I know). I have a friend who offered to be my caregiver basically 24/7 in exchange for free rent and a place to stay. I think he may want my state chore check too ($547) as his wages, not sure he hasn't mentioned it really. I just feel he sure should contribute something to help with the bills, or is that amount of time and care equal to it? Please throw me some suggestions on how to handle this, it's all very new to me. I may have to be out of here by the 13th.

Guest guest Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Doug, is absolutely correct. I know you are enrolled in the state program already. I suspect you are not receiving maximum hours because you have been living with your parents. Check out June Price's book " Avoiding Attendants from Hell " . Keep us posted and good luck!

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Hey speaking of June Price, are any of her writings or articles available online from livingsmart?

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2009 Report Share Posted December 9, 2009 Bettylou & others, I have looked everywhere I can think of for back issues of these newsletter. It would be wonderful if folks were willing to scan them and put them up in the Files section of this group. I am willing to compile and organize these archives if folks don't know how to scan and post. Let me know it any of you are willing to share these newsletters and if I can help in any way. I can even send postage paid envelopes and return to originals to you. Cheers! Alana > > > > > > Hey speaking of June Price, are any of her writings or articles > > available online from livingsmart?
